When it comes to connectivity, Dell provides a wealth of
options. There are no less than three WiFi solutions offered (802.11b/g,
802.11a/b/g and 802.11n). Dell also offers an optional broadband modem for
Sprint/Verizon (EVDO Rev A) or AT&T (HSDPA). Hardwire connections include
two USB 2.0 ports, a Firewire port and HDMI-out.

The Dell XPS M1330 starts at $1,299 and will come with a
one-year XPS limited warranty, one year of LoJack Theft Protection Service and
10GB of storage with Dell Online Backup. Customers will be able to choose from
three lid colors as well with the XPS M1330 (Tuxedo Black, Pearl White or
Crimson Red).

Dell has also revamped its popular Inspiron notebook family.
14", 15.4" and 17" notebooks now fall under the Inspiron 1420,
1520 and 1720 nomenclature for Intel Santa Rosa-based notebooks and Inspiron
1521 and 1721 for AMD Turion 64 X2-based notebooks.

The new range of Inspiron notebooks are available with a
dizzying array of options including RAID 0,1 support (1721 only), 3G wireless,
2.0MP webcam and a Blu-ray drive (Intel models).

Dell once again plays up the customization bit with the new
Inspirons. Each will be available in Jet Black (matte finish), Alpine White (gloss
finish), Espresso Brown, Flamingo Pink, Midnight Blue, Ruby Red, Spring Green or Sunshine Yellow.

Weight for the Inspirons range from 5.39 pounds for the 1420
to 7.67 pounds for the 1721. Starting prices begin at $799 for the 1420 and
creep up to $999 for the 1720.

"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer
